Alpine eco-chic among the peaks and valleys of Zillertal. With its natural, timber-frame exterior, Das Posthotel celebrates the traditions of its Tyrolean valley setting. Yet with bold lines, sheer glass and a sustainable ethos, the classic Alpine lodge is given a contemporary edge. Wake to a delicious breakfast of locally sourced produce and freshly roasted coffee, served in your room or down in the light, airy restaurant. Take a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool. Here, solar heating means you can swim throughout the year, even when snow dusts the surrounding rooftops. Head out and explore the mountains. In summer, you have a web of hiking and biking trails to unravel. And in winter, the Zillertal ski area is at your feet. After an active day, make a beeline for the Boutique Spa. A network of five saunas and relaxation rooms and a menu of massages mean there are plenty of ways to unwind. As evening falls, HeLeni restaurant promises regional recipes and organic produce served with creative flair. For the perfect finishing touch, pick up a nightcap from the hotel bar, and stargaze from your private balcony. Das Posthotel is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
